It didn't take them very long. http://www.thejournalnews.com/apps/p...505270315/1018 Hey, it's a lot easier than chasing ambulances. Here's the part that gets me: "We do not contend that flying in small planes is dangerous, rather that American Flyers failed to properly manage the risks in flying and in so doing cut short this young man's life," said Paul Marx of the firm DelBello, Donnellan, Weingarten, Tartaglia, Wise and Wiederkehr, who is representing Alexei and Olga Naoumov. "There is no defensible or logical reason for a primary flight student who was still learning how to fly in visual conditions to be receiving training in weather conditions that were at or below those minimally required for instrument flying. Doing so is simply reckless and irresponsible." Disregarding whether or not the instructor handled the situation properly, how many of you feel that getting experience in actual IMC during flight instruction is a bad thing? One of the best experiences that I had in my early training was exactly this, and gave me the confidence to make good decisions if caught in IMC inadvertently. Neil |
